GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 22 : AsaparaWhat?

[Gravitron]

Good to hear!

The hunt for 1+ seconds is on! 👍

Current splits were with unbroken-in and untuned car. More miles and generous tune-sharing folks should help that out. Probably start with Carlos' tune tonight.

 

[Lynx-Can]

Probably start with Carlos' tune tonight.

I'm using that tune too with 393 bhp I think having ran 90 miles. Is it 399 bhp with a fully run in car? I've changed my brake bias though. 4 and 6 I think. I've found 3 front and 10 rear doesn't really suit my driving style.

I still haven't touched transmission settings yet.

Whoops, hehe.

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Whoops, hehe.

Thank goodness

Probably start with Carlos' tune tonight.

Lucas, I'm honoured! You may want/need to adjust BB and the diff to suit your style. I've got the BB set to get some rotation into turn 1 and the chicane, and the diff set to have as little effect as possible. With 'only' 400bhp and R2 tyres you should be able to get hard on the power nice and early.

Having said all that, I'm sure the D1 guys will be using something more extreme and ultimately faster

 

[Speedy6543]

This is using Carlos' setup

I'm going to try the setup link Jerome posted now

 

[DDiamond]

T1: 21.532
T2: 32.800


Lost at least 1.5 in Corner 13 and Netz Corner going wide, dammit. [Hate both of them]

Running a mix of setups of Praliano, Vette, Carlos and Jerome with minor adjustments.

 

[Gravitron]

Nice to have you back, Dan! Glad you triumphed over the cat, as it should be. 👍

Where's Corner 13? Not sure which of the slight bends would actually be counted as corners...

I look forward to the day where it no longer feels like I'm going 10mph through that Dunlop switchback. Kind of hate that corner, and it feels a bit worse than it did in previous GT's. ??

I love Coca Cola when you nail it right, though.

EDIT: Wikipedia's picture says Corner 13 is the hard uphill right-hander between Dunlop and Netz. Wikipedia can't be wrong. :/

[millross]

Some pretty woeful corner names on there if that is accurate

Edit: I ran a few laps

20.850
31.071

@ 165.4 miles - 396bhp

ABS: 1, Controller sensitivity: 1, TCS/ASM/AS: Off
Aero: Max/Max
Gearing: 3.451, 2.367, 1.775, 1.351, 1.094, 0.928 - Final: 4.435 (177 top, 174 bottom)
LSD: 12/42/12 (DS3 specific - not suitable for wheel)
Suspension: -10/-10 | 17.0/17.0 | 7/7 | 5/5 | 4/4 | 2.2/1.5 | -0.10/0.15
BB 5/7

Bad overshoot by a few metres at Dunlop curve, cost a lot of time. Still quickest lap so far.

T1: 21.348
T2: 32.744
My first efforts.
Haven't spent alot of tome at Fuji.
Should be interesting!
Cheers All !!!

Better 13 and Netz but screwed Hairpin!

Nice to have you back, Dan! Glad you triumphed over the cat, as it should be. 👍

Here you go! Hope this helps!

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the numeric references are F1 values as this map popped up on a Googled map forum site, which I didn't bother to get since I'm not into F1 racing.

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Nice T2 Matt 👍

Dan, thanks for the map (courtesy of Autosport?) - Tilke needs to be taken around the back of the bike sheds and given a good going over doesn't he? I loathe this tendency for clumsy slow sections for the benefit of advertisers - there's even one at Silverstone now - just spoils the flow of the track IMO 👎

Autosport? Never heard of that.

The map I posted was made by some Allianz forum site I Googled.

Amen...

Tilke = No fun :tdowm:

[Usual Suspect]

First splits, 200km done (really strange as only had less than an hour session )

T1: 20.984
T2: 31.652

 

[EDK]

First splits for me, after a session that was mostly to tune and get the car broken in.

21.133
31.440

Still tweaking the tune and gears will likely have to change for full engine break in, so will post it up in the next couple days.

EDIT : Hmm, I thought I was really underpowered, so I went and changed the oil. Got much faster right away, and grabbed these on my second lap.

20.888
31.280

Tune seems to be working on the main straight with 393 hp, so here is is -

Aero - Max on Both Ends

Gears

3112
2338
1823
1441
1206
1025

Final - 4076

Top speed in top box shows as 175 MPH

LSD - Default

Ride -5/-10
Springs 13.8/16.5
Dampers 8's all around
ARB 5/6

Camber 2.5/0.8
Toe 0/-0.10

Brakes 4/6

Have not had much time to work on the suspension, but the gears are really solid for the track, and let you keep it in the power for the key gears in the key turns, while limiting shifting when possible.

 

[nuclearfire]

First Splits:

T1: 21.515
T2: 32.045

 

[jimantonic]

First splits after actually managing 3 laps in a WRS!!
21.476
31.890

Not using ABS is really hurting me in the braking zone for turn 1 but I don't want to brake the habit of not using ABS, ran wide in some of the latter corners of sector 3 so definately more time to be found, also need to sort the tune out, may try some of your suggestions in my spare half hour dedicated to WRS tonight.

 

[GTPorsche]

First splits from a 16 lap session.

T1: 21.134
T2: 31.663

 

[Pluscat]

[boediebouer]

First spilts for me

20.848
30.869

Still lots of time somewhere just need to pick them up

 

[millross]

My car is finally up to full power, not managed to string together a good lap yet though but it certainly feels a few tenths quicker, I'm holding an extra 1mph at the end of the straight, woop!

So, who is taking turn 1 in 3rd gear? It seems to me that using 2nd to engine brake into the turn and flicking straight up to 3rd before accelerating works best. Obviously using custom gearing though otherwise the revs would be too low.

I have my gears set to use 2nd for turn 1 and the chicane, 4th for Coca Cola and 100R, and 3rd for all the other turns. Some of the stuff in the dreaded "Tilke Section" can require a blip down to second to get the car turned. But that's not consistent, and I think is a result of going in too hot at times.

Very important to keep this car in the power, I think the right gearbox that suits your driving style will be a key to setting a top time this week.

 

[Carlos Fandango]

3rd in turn one here

 

[DigitalBaka]

T1: 21.445
T2: 32.354

Still a long way off my goal time. 100R and Dunlop are killing me right now. Need to let the dummies, er, bobs run this one around some more as well.

 

[crazytortise]

Think I will give this a go. I promise to submit my replay on time

 

[Lynx-Can]

New Splits.

T1: 20.746
T2: 31.119

Had a few .690's in T1 but none were my fastest lap.
